in reply to Authentication Required

'Relaying Denied' is a message from the SMTP server you are contacting that says its not going to send outgoing mail to other domains from servers other than itself. This is to protect it from spam, so that a rogue PC on your network can't call up the SMTP server and start spamming the internet. Those same servers often have it setup so that if you authenticate with the server (showing that you are legit hopefully) you can then relay email to the outside world through that server.
